“Life,
it seems, is nothing if not a series of initiations, transitions, and
incorporations” This quote by Alan Dundes is something I believe relates to our
group and what we have in store for us. When we first began the canoeing
section of our expedition, we were able to experience our own initiation into a
world beyond the computer screens and cell phones. With this initiation we were
able to experience the hardships and wonders of the Grass River and the
multiple lakes around it. The experiences have allowed for us to grow stronger
not only as individuals, but as a group as well. With that growth we have been
able to overcome many obstacles that have stood in our path. From raging
rapids, long portages, and mighty winds we have been able to triumph over all
of the challenges that have been put before us. Yet while we have overcome many
things in the backcountry, we must now begin a new challenge, and that is the
transition into the front country, and to having technology all around. With
distractions all around, the group must now begin our second part of ECOEE. And
with the ease of looking back to friends and family with just our finger tips,
we must stay focused on the goals and the journey ahead of us. For if we are
able to focus on our goals and not get distracted, it will show that ECOEE 2013
as a group can come together to overcome any challenge.
“Only by contending
with challenges that seem to be beyond your strength to handle at the moment
you can grow more surely towards the stars.” Brian Tracy
